Freakazoid

Original Air Date: 1995-1997

Network: WB

Co-created by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini (both of Batman: The Animated Series fame) and Steven Spielberg (of movie blockbuster fame), Freakazoid! was a very fun spoof of the superhero genre. The show's title character is a manic, out of control superhero who's the secret alter ego of geeky teenager Dexter Douglas.

Freakazoid -- who would appear when Dexter would say "Freak out!" and go away when he said "Freak in!" -- had a wide range of powers, including strength, speed, endurance and the ability to assume the form of electricity. He was, however, very easily distracted, and often not interested in being a superhero. Each episode Freakazoid would meet up with a ridiculous villain, such as a giant-brain-headed man called The Lobe, a blue caveman named Cave Guy with a voice like Gilligan's Island's Thurston Howell III, a former model stuck in a jaunty pose named Arms Akimbo, and an eye-patched villain named Armando Guitierrez, voiced by the inimitable Ricardo Montalban.
